Introduction
VEGF-D belongs to the VEGF/PDGF family of proteins. VEGF-D promotes lymphangiogesis, endothelial cell growth, and regulates vascular permeability. In addition, VEGF-D has an important part in the creation of the venous and lymphatic vascular systems and in the growth and maintenance of differentiated lymphatic endothelium Mature VEGF-D forms a noncovalently linked homodimer, and binds to and activate both VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 .
Description
VEGFD Human Recombinant produced in HEK-293 cells is a secreted protein fused to a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
Source
HEK293.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized powder.
Formulation
The recombinant VEGF-D was lyophilized after extensive dialysis against PBS.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor D in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized VEGF-D although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution VEGF-D should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein .
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by -PAGE.
Biological Activity
The ED50 of 3-4ng/ml is measured by its ability to stimulate the proliferation of human microvascular endothelial cells .
